I want to bring on the co 75 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.680 host with the most my partner in crime, mister Farrell 76 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.280 Ellis at Pharaoh Happy Divisional Round Eve to you, sir, 77 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:08.240 how are you a partner? I'm excited before. 78 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.759 And go ahead and should we go ahead and just 79 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:11.439 get it out there? 80 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.040 We go ahead and talk about it? Well, listen, I'm 81 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.639 going to tell you this right now. I am very 82 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:24.519 excited for this weekend of football, despite the Packers not 83 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.680 being all in this weekend. Kudos to the Bears. They 84 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.879 made the plays they needed to make in that game. 85 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.160 And I think I brought this up on the show 86 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.720 several times. My father, when I was a kid, told 87 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.959 me that this Divisional round weekend of the NFL. He said, 88 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.959 it's the best weekend football. You have the eight best teams, 89 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.560 or at least the eight remaining teams gunning for a 90 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.639 Super Bowl championship. We have no point spread higher than 91 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.399 I want to say, seven and a half. We should 92 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.319 see some good football this weekend, Parrel. And your father. 93 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:56.959 Is a very, very wise man, and this is the 94 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.240 greatest weekend of football. Unfortunately, I'm going to be in 95 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.839 on an airplanes Sunday afternoon, so I don't like that. 96 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:02.800 Uh. 97 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.160 There were two tragedies and the Bears and the Packers. 98 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.680 The Packers let it get away. The other tragedy was that. 99 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.000 And we'll get more into this with Brad and I 100 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.079 am so thrilled to have Brad here on the show. 101 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:18.439 You know, I advised our listeners not to get involved 102 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.639 with tight End Coastal loved. 103 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:21.680 One to go somewhere else. 104 00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.720 And then I just realized that even though he fifty 105 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.639 eight passes and five touchdowns through the season. In the 106 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.800 last three games, including last week's playoff game, he's been 107 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:35.319 targeted thirty eight times. And we were told he would 108 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.560 play better later in the year. And you know, I said, 109 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.680 we could do no harm last week, and we harmed people, 110 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.079 and I'm just I'm over it, gonna try to do 111 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:48.959 better this week. 112 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.759 You know, when I had a terrestrial radio show, Farrell, 113 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.319 I had a y that's that's not that. Those are 114 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.759 those like you rode the dinosaur to the radio show 115 00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.120 way back up, way back in the day. Yeah, And 116 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.399 I would have this guest on. It was a Milwaukee 117 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.759 Bucks analyst and the Bucks were happening to go through 118 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.360 a pretty rough part of their season where they had 119 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.399 gotten blown out three times in a row. And I 120 00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.000 had this guy on and I said, well, clearly, it 121 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.319 can't get any worse. And he said, Bulky, don't you 122 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.360 ever say that. And it did get worse for the Bucks. 123 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.879 And I will never say, no matter what I'm talking about, 124 00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.199 fantasy football, pro basketball, life, I will never say it 125 00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.959 can't get any worse, because now I know it clearly 126 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.680 can get worse. All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's get 127 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.319 into it. Tonight. It's gonna get better from here on out. 128 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.319 I want to bring up the Seahawks because I think 129 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.439 the big I don't know if there was big news 130 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.040 this week in the NFL for these eight remaining teams, 131 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.439 that was probably this report out of Seattle. Mike McDonald, 132 00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.759 the Seahawks head coach, said that he's quote really optimistic 133 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:56.120 Sam Donald is going to be able to play in 134 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.160 the divisional round against the forty nine ers. He said 135 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.319 that there's a possible ability that this injury might limit 136 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:07.480 Sam Donald physically, but he's also saying that Donald himself 137 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.279 is confident he's going to be able to operate normally. 138 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.279 This is he was very nebulous when it came to 139 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.920 his responses when he was asked specifics about the injury 140 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.160 and how it's gonna affect Sam Donald's play Listen, Sam 141 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:22.759 Donald needs all the help he can get, clearly, and 142 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.319 anything that's going to hamstring him even more is going 143 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.319 to be problematic. This question. We'll get into Sam Donald 144 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.439 later on in the show, Farrell, but I think most 145 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.759 people for the playoff challenge too are looking at Rostering, 146 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.600 Jackson Smith and Jigma. Maybe a few people based on 147 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.480 the data we saw from Fantasy Mojo fantasymojo dot com 148 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.959 at Fantasy Mojo on X where we always get this 149 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:46.360 data from. We saw a handful of people roster Kenneth 150 00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.959 Walker third, as well as Zach Scharbonay last week too. 151 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.079 So I think the question here is are you at 152 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.759 all nervous about especially if you're rostering JSN with Donald, 153 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.720 you know, operating at less than one hundred percent physically. 154 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.279 We know his limitations in this offense and him as 155 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.480 a quarterback, and I wonder if this is enough for 156 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.720 you to say, like, hey, maybe I should look at 157 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.279 this ground game with Seattle as a pivot off of 158 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:16.120 Smith and Jigba. Given that Seattle wins with their rushing 159 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.639 offense and with their defense, especially this season, you can 160 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.000 make the case that they're going to get to the 161 00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.399 super Bowl based on how good that defense is going 162 00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.560 to be. If Donald is now limited a little bit 163 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:28.439 more physically, I don't know. Maybe sharbon A and Walker 164 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:30.519 aren't the easy fades they were before. 165 00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:38.600 Yeah, Bucky, and you've you're presenting some opportunities for our 166 00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:42.000 event here at the FFPC there divisional round. 167 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:43.120 You look. 168 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:51.320 Yardage for Donald for the year, forty yards yardage for 169 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.039 Jay is in close to eighteen hundred yards. Seventeen and 170 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.279 change is a stat that I heard. So's he's forty 171 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.120 five percent of the air yards for this offense. He's 172 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.960 everything for this quarterback. You you can't really, I don't know. 173 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:09.200 I don't know how. You the only thing that's going 174 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.639 to get this player uh for not being a huge 175 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.600 difference maker in this contest. And I think the only 176 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.480 way you can win is by rostering another players if 177 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:21.759 this player gets injured. 178 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.600 That's my thoughts. It's it's a no brainion or roster 179 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.399 this player the UH and and I think you're right, 180 00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.120 and I think most people will be doing that now. 181 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.440 I can't remember if I brought this up last week 182 00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:35.679 or not, but I'm gonna bring it up tonight. As 183 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.559 far as how that roster ownership worked for the Seahawks 184 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.360 in the Playoff Challenge last week the five hundred K Challenge, 185 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:47.480 Charbonet was owned in UH. Actually, Sharbonette Walker we each 186 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.279 own in about two percent of leagues, Smith and Jigga 187 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.799 eighty seven percent of leagues. And that's how people handle it. 188 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.960 I would imagine it's probably gonna be like that again. However, 189 00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.159 with the eight players in this contest, you do need 190 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:03.200 to be different somewhere. I would expect that those two 191 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:05.440 percents for Scharbona and Walker are going to be a 192 00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.799 little bit higher this week, regardless of the Donald injury. 193 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:13.960 Speaking of injuries, fair Nico Collins not going to be 194 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.559 playing against the New England Patriots Sunday afternoon. He is 195 00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.159 in the concussion protocol not get out of it in time, 196 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:24.120 and the Texans ruled him out today. Did not practice 197 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:27.759 at all this week, and Christian Kirk obviously had a 198 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.080 big week. I mentioned this last night on FFPC Insider 199 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.240 Access with Pat fitz Morris. Kirk was good before the 200 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.759 Collins injury. He was good after the Collins injury. Like 201 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:42.120 Mike McDermott in Rounders, right when worm shows up and 202 00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.840 they get and Mike mctard's like, look, I was winning 203 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.759 before this guy even got here. Kirsten Kirk was crushing 204 00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:53.120 in it before Nico Collins even got concussed on last 205 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.039 week's game. Right, So I think we have to take 206 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:59.039 a long look at at Christian Kirk, Jayden Higgins, Jalen Knowle, 207 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.360 obviously zaber Hutt still factoring into the Texans passing attack. 208 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.080 I still don't know how you have your quarterback fumble 209 00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:09.000 five times and win a playoff game by twenty four points. 210 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.279 But that's what happened with Houston. You go into this 211 00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.240 New England game without a true number one wide receiver Pharaoh. 212 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.600 This is something we're gonna talk to Brad about as well. 213 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.759 Do you have any feeling on is Christian Kirk the 214 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.639 guy that you want a roster from Houston? Is a 215 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:25.000 Dalton Schultz perhaps? Or are you picking a big game 216 00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:28.440 or maybe a big postseason from one of these Texans 217 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:32.039 rookies out of Iowa State and Noel Or Higgins. I 218 00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:33.320 really like Higgins. 219 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.559 We've been Higgins fans since last summer and that's probably 220 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:40.559 what I'm going to do. And I think you know 221 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:45.360 who's the big beneficiary of this the Pats. 222 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:52.679 Defense, it's you. Do you have to take a Texans 223 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.080 be the question? You have to? Yeah, you have to, 224 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.000 you have to, But the question is which one? And 225 00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.360 you know, well, honestly, there will be people that will 226 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.000 be like, oh, I got to take their defense. You 227 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.200 can't play the defense this week. It's got to be 228 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:10.279 a skill position player. Could be Woody Marx. I can't 229 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.840 imagine a lot of people would be going with Dick Chubb. 230 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.399 But I'll be fascinating once a lineup's lock here in 231 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.759 what would it be about nineteen hours a little over 232 00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.840 nineteen hours. Be very interested to see how people handle 233 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:25.679 the Houston Texans this weekend, as they are three and 234 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.480 a half point underdogs or is it four and a 235 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.399 half point underdogs to the New England Patriots this week 236 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.960 it is, Oh, they're three point underdogs, so they've tightened 237 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:38.240 it up three points. Okay. I want to shift before 238 00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.200 we get our total focus on the Hunter K playoff 239 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.840 challenge too. With the FFPC, I want to talk about 240 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.759 two other players that I think that are not in 241 00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.120 the playoffs. But I know this first guy holds a 242 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.279 dear spot in your heart, Farrell, and that's Michael Pittman 243 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:56.600 the Athletics. James Boyd, who covers the Indianapolis Colts for 244 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.399 that publication, believes Michael Pittman quote appears to have two 245 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:04.519 options restructure his contract or play somewhere else. In twenty 246 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:07.240 twenty six. Now, after the last game of the season, 247 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:10.679 Michael Pittman, when he was meeting with the press, kind 248 00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.639 of talked about like how this was probably his last 249 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.759 game as a Colt. He has a twenty nine million 250 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.639 dollar cap hit this coming year, and if the Colts 251 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:21.519 decide to cut him, that's going to free up twenty 252 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.960 four million dollars in cap space. He is going to 253 00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.639 be twenty nine next year, and it's certainly possible that 254 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.919 they could trade him. I would imagine that that's a 255 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.679 possibility on the table for the Colts right now. What 256 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.039 do you make of Michael Pittman coming up this year? 257 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:41.639 Farrell knowing that he is not over the hill, but 258 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.480 certainly not a spring chicken anymore, and he probably will 259 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.440 have a new head coach, new oc, new quarterback, new 260 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.639 offense to learn prior to the start of the twenty 261 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:51.399 twenty six season. 262 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.320 Yes, and that's true about twenty five percent of the league. 263 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.759 So he might want to go to one of those 264 00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.519 places where there is where everyone's going to be. It's 265 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:02.200 a fresh start for everyone. And yeah, it's just one 266 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:04.600 of my all time favorite players and I would love 267 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:11.039 seeing him in a change avenue. And let's I personally 268 00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.600 hope that he ends up with a quarterback that has 269 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:19.320 a little bit more seasoning, perhaps than some of the 270 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:22.840 quarterbacks that he's had at Indianapolis. He's benefited from the 271 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.320 fact that Indianapolis that he plays in a dome, plays 272 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:27.840 on a carpet that works well for him, And so 273 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:31.440 that could be a situation for him. You take a team, 274 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.679 you know, we just talked about Seattle. Perhaps that would 275 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.919 be a place for you know, a place where you've 276 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.840 got to get some ballance. Do we expect this receiver 277 00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:45.440 JSN to catch eighteen hundred yards next season? You know, 278 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.759 the whole league's going to work on taking that player. 279 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.039 So I think it's a great off season for Pivot. 280 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.159 And I love the way our writer here has covered 281 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.480 possibly every outcome that. 282 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:55.559 There possibly could be. 283 00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.080 He's covered all the basis so he can claim he's 284 00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.519 going to be. 285 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.559 Right about New Orleans. I think would be interesting for 286 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:06.559 Pittman next year too, playing alongside Chris o'lave and Tyler 287 00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:09.320 Schuck that that'd be interesting. We'll see much more to 288 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.799 come on that situation. We have Brad Taylor standing by here. 289 00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:15.399 The last thing I want to get to before we 290 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.039 go to the Vson studios to connect with him. Patrick 291 00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:21.200 Mahomes stated that his doctor told him he could be 292 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.919 ready to play week one of the season. This was 293 00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:27.120 on the Chief's official website. Mahomes said that his rehab 294 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:29.679 is going great, that the Chiefs told him he's hitting 295 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.320 all the checkpoints that he needs to as far as 296 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:36.279 strength and range of motion goes. And he says during 297 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.639 OTAs he expects to be able to do some things there, 298 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.679 which is good. He says he's hoping to do a 299 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.759 lot in training camp. This is positive news. I would 300 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.600 expect nothing else to be coming out of Patrick Mahomes's 301 00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.720 mouth and out of the Chiefs organization. If they're not 302 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.039 saying this, or if they're saying anything less than this, 303 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.840 I have serious questions. But I think the serious question 304 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.559 I have here Farrell. I think some people, myself included, 305 00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.000 were ready to downgrade him with best ball drafts, ready 306 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.559 to get underway here in the next week or two. 307 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.360 Now I'm thinking, like, maybe I shouldn't downgrade him as much. 308 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.559 I still I still am skeptical he's ready for Week one, 309 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:14.200 but perhaps he's going to be ready earlier than we think. 310 00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.759 And it's not like he's a receiver or a corner 311 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.279 or a running back, like he's a quarterback. And I 312 00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:21.919 think that that as far as coming back from acl 313 00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.000 injuries quarterbacks are not expected. With apologies to quarterbacks, they're 314 00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.799 not expected to do a lot of the sudden change 315 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.879 of cuts that running backs, receivers, corner so on and 316 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.840 so forth are expected to do. And it's Mahomes. He's 317 00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.759 kind of a freak anyway. As well. We still know 318 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.000 what's going on with Travis Kelcey. We don't know what 319 00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:41.360 the Chiefs are going to do in the draft. We 320 00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.320 don't know what's going on with Rashid Rice and his 321 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.399 potential suspension as well. But I think this is good news. 322 00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.720 And perhaps I'm not downgrading Mahomes as much as I 323 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.240 thought it was going to be after this report, Pharaoh, So. 324 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.840 Patrick Mahomes as your best ball third string quarterback book. 325 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.639 You think, I think he will be drafted in the 326 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:08.400 top fifteen this And maybe that's not even like a 327 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.160 hot take at all, but I just feel like, you know, 328 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.480 the way that he was performing earlier this season, how 329 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:16.400 much he was running, he was doing stuff with his 330 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:19.920 legs that we hadn't seen maybe ever in his NFL career, 331 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.880 and now you get as long as positive reports keep 332 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.559 coming out like this, then yeah, I think he's going 333 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:27.480 to creep up and the fact that he could his 334 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:29.960 doctors say he could be ready for week one. I mean, 335 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:31.960 he's looking like kind of a bargain. 336 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:34.519 And he'll be at Steinberg Super Bowl party and they 337 00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:36.640 can all put those microphones. 338 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:38.480 In his face and ask him that same question. He 339 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:40.519 might skimp that just to not you know. 340 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:41.480 Just to. 341 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:48.079 Yeah. I think that one of the things that one 342 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:52.160 of the most fascinating offenses we'll be watching for as 343 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:55.480 we start draft season here shortly, is what's gonna happen 344 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:58.640 with Kansas City. I saw a mock draft that they 345 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.119 take Jeremiah Love in the first round too, and so 346 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:03.559 you finally get a running back on that offense. Love 347 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:06.799 and mahomes boy. It could be a quick turnaround for 348 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.519 Kansas City in twenty twenty six. Let's get into tonight's guest, 349 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.359 Ladies and gentlemen. I want to bring him on right now. 350 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.519 He's a multi league champion in the Kentucky Fantasy Football 351 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.119 State Championship. He also hosts The bottom Line with Brad 352 00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:23.200 Taylor on ESPN Radio Linxington.

Would you now find some value 385 00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:59.160 on Seattle now? Because that line's not going to be 386 00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:01.200 seven or seven a half, it's going to be below 387 00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.400 that is now the time?
